But that didn’t help yesterday, when half of the news.com.au office saw it as blue and gold, while others saw it as white and gold. A few others noticed it as black and blue.

News.com.au lifestyle editor Kate Midena believes she is unequivocally right and that it is ice blue and gold.

“It’s pretty clear to me that the dress is ice blue and gold. First glance I thought that, second glance I thought that, after hearing everyone argue about it, I still think that,” she said, with a distinctly defiant tone.

Even Taylor Swift and Anna Kendrick have picked their sides.

I don't understand this odd dress debate and I feel like it's a trick somehow. I'm confused and scared. PS it's OBVIOUSLY BLUE AND BLACK
